Most of the shareware keyloggers are detected, but not Spytector. Here is a quote from [url]http://www.spytector.com/[/url] :

Spytector is a commercial legitimate keylogger and our ********s must be able to use Spytector on their computers in the same time with other security applications, so the version they receive (the full version) will be undetected for all the well known antivirus products.

The full version is different from the trial version, it's not public.

So is there such a thing that you can send to someone via email, they open it, and you can see what they type for their access password? I'm wondering how these so called "hackers" claim to retreive passwords from people's email like Hotmail & Yahoo ?

Yes, there is programs available that can log keys, there are standard keyloggers, keyloggers included in other trojans, and many more variations. There are many functions that can be used in c/c++ that make it quite easy to program them, or if you are a script kiddy, you can download them from other people. Most of these "hacker" services are just n00bs trying to scam people for *****, they use social engineering, trojans/malware (including keyloggers), and a lot of other stuff, but there is no easy way to hack accounts, it has to be through some indirect method like I described above.

ok i have a question, last year i had come accross this site that said that if you download this keylogger, you can send like a picture or link to someone and if they click or view it it will put a copy of the keylogger on there computer and it will enable you to view the password that they have. ive never used this but im just wondering if it is even possible

Keyloggers or other malware can only be run by executing code. Image files and video files do not execute code, they just contain data to be interpreted by the image viewer or video player. So this means, malware can NOT be run from within an image, video, or other non executable file. There are many executable file types that are used on the windows OS, such as .exe, .scr, .pif. The only way you can run a program is by having one of those file extensions, if the file is .jpg, .gif, .png, .avi, or any other image or video file type, then it will not do anything. *But*, there are a few ways we CAN run code from a non executable file type, such as .jpg. This would be done through exploits, like the wmf exploit, which allows code to be executed through a .wmf file, a common image format. But exploits are uncommon and last for a very limited amount of time, so to answer your question, no, keyloggers can not be run through image or video files.
